How do I I condense long urls ? You know, the 'click here' where the<br>
'here' is a link to your address.<br>

If you meant "I want to link to <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59834" target="_blank">http://www.giantitp.com/<u></u>forums/showthread.php?t=59834</a> (silly post about the Beige Dragon) but the giantitp link is a whole lot to type. I'd rather use something like <a href="http://crow202.org/22" target="_blank">http://crow202.org/22</a> ," then you would use a URL shortener. There are a bunch of them. <a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank">bit.ly</a> and <a href="http://goo.gl" target="_blank">goo.gl</a> are popular IIRC. These things usually end up giving you " <a href="http://goo.gl/654321" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/654321</a> ", and if you go there, the server there looks up 654321 in a huge table and gives you a 301 redirect to <a href="http://example.com/a/really/huge/long/location/" target="_blank">http://example.com/a/really/<u></u>huge/long/location/</a> .<br>
<br>
I wrote my own because it was a fairly easy thing to do, and all the extant publicly-usable URL shorteners almost certainly use tracking cookies and/or piles of JS garbage. You probably don't have a webhost to put a URL shortener on though.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
